Yes. That's why my main issue with Valentine still isnt the attempted rape per se, but the people saying he did nothing wrong and that johnny is the real villain. The rape is still a lazy way to make him look bad when you already know he is despicable but defending the guy after doing that makes me worried about our society as a whole D:
That's not how you write 5 *runs*
Araki isn't going to waste two chapters going into in depth detail explaining a stand like Togashi does with Nen for better and worse. Imagine a Gold Experience written by Togashi.
He spent 2 chapters making them search for a golden rectangle amidst the snow, he could do it if johnny stopped crying( it was one chapter but SBR chapters have 5x more pages than a HxH chapter).
Who has nerfed Gold Experience? I still haven't read the last chapter? Lol at this explanation though.
Figures since I can never remember what Bill did. Terror Sandwich was even Jojo posing.
"How come togashi lets you have TWO STANDS?"
That's the hilarious part. It's like Togashi was like, "Why not?"
I look forward to seeing another writer's take on king crimson, i mean, I love part 5, thought the arrow ex-machina was pretty well done and all, but Togashi has such a different way of writing and making a foundation so everything in the story makes sense so we'll get to see how diavolo would've gone down in a more believable scenario(I hope), I wonder if Araki read those chapters and what would he think about that LOL(I know togashi is sort of a fan of him)
From what I understand Togashi and Araki are friends. You can find a lot of the same takes on some powers between Jojo and HxH. In YYH you have Karasu, whom inspired Kira and you have Genthru in HxH with Kira's power set.
I could see it going a bit better since for one, it's not sexualized like with Anne or that woman who bathes child Polnareff & the context makes....more sense, I guess (kid's house & his "father" over random shower scene & random woman being all "YOU NEED A BATH & SOME FANSERVICE"), though I can still see quite a few "NOPE" reactions, but at the very least, it should be able to be creepy for the "right" reasons & not "why do we have a random fanservice bath scene?"
It's definitely not fanservice, it's just creepy and creepy manservice.
I need more material on that, Jojolion feels straight up like hunter x hunter in a small town, now i'll take Tsendrich as a friendly challenge lol
It's just creepy, unsettling and terrifying enough for me to ask how shounen jump allowed that manga D:
True, I know I need to do a more recent rewatch of both back to back but I think the last time I did I recognized a couple of things between series.
I'm actually doing it right now, but rewatching the 99 anime, aside from some hisoka shenanigans that remember a lot of Stone Free I haven't caught many things yet...but i'm only at trick tower. I know both have Purple Haze, at least =P
Lol. I really don't even remember some of these Nen abilities.
Hisoka's bungee gum is basically Jolyne's stand but sticky(tho machi's hatsu is closer to Jolyne's), the purple haze soldies are from Morel(?), the dude with the huge pipe that makes soldiers of smoke
Oh by Purple Haze I thought you were talking melting virus Nen, but that could possibly be on the Dark Continent. Shit Knov and Emporio have similar abilities, though Knov's is way more broken.
Nah, just the name, it was pretty cute.
He's got a nerfed version of Sticky Fingers. He can't reattach limbs with it.
True, but he can delete stuff into the void like the hand
I don't know too much about GE after only one episode, but at the very end of the chapter:
Valentine's voice actor in ASB was fantastic. Too bad he was probably the worst character of the bunch.
One ep? That thing is a meme for a reason.Good first episode of Part 5. Giorno seems like he'll be an interesting protagonist.
I don't know too much about GE after only one episode, but at the very end of the chapter:
Yeah I didn't like him as much until I heard that VA truth be told lmao
I forgot that guy but, man, GE isn't so simple o- o i still don't know how that thing works sometimesGood first episode of Part 5. Giorno seems like he'll be an interesting protagonist.
I don't know too much about GE after only one episode, but at the very end of the chapter:
I have it. The book is definitely more about his storytelling and art philosophy mixed with his insight from working in the business moreso than a "how to draw manga" book, so it's pretty much exactly what you want.
His stand is fucking awesome, one of the best designs.I can finally recognize this that Togashi drew for JoJo's 25th. Of all the characters to choose from lol. I guess I'll see where his character goes.
Oh boy now i know where sale sale's design came from!I can finally recognize this that Togashi drew for JoJo's 25th. Of all the characters to choose from lol. I guess I'll see where his character goes.
Heh, what'd I tell ya - full circle !I can finally recognize this that Togashi drew for JoJo's 25th. Of all the characters to choose from lol. I guess I'll see where his character goes.
Reminds me of the creepiness/menace of Death Thirteen.
Yup. It seems when Araki decides to introduce too many characters or include plots other than "a bunch of pretty dudes go somewhere to beat someone up", there ends up being a lot of wasted potential. It's why Parts 3 and 5 are my favorite, even if I still love 7.
And for me, it's one of the cases where the need to avoid the trademark in the localization ends up making a better name.
One of the things that I think work well in part 7 is that it's focused on only 2 characters instead of a team. It allows the other characters to avoid the Avdol/Kakyoin thing of "we're in the team and always there but the author has no idea what to do with us and we just stand on the side commenting the battle". It's interesting to read SBR along Phantom Blood to see Araki taking inspiration of his earlier works.
Giorno don't fuck around, one of my favorite moments of part 5. Be prepared for some bullshit.
